I sometimes find Christmas soo stressful. Things to buy, bake, cook, fix and on the top of that the whole fam running around in the house. My husband´s and my parent’s don´t really get along so well and therefore we´ve decided to spend every second with mine and the same with his. Last year my mom was sick and we could not spend with my parents instead we were alone with my sister and her fam. This year I would love to spend with my parents but my husband’s parents "claim" it´s their turn. My mum is still not really well and would love to have some time with her and also for my daughter´s sake to spend some time with her before my mother gets too old. Even though it´s only September this has become a huge discussion in our family and my mother in law is really upset. Guess this will continue until Christmas. Frustrating!!
That´s a tricky one. Also think that Christmas is a crazy part of the year but then when I look at my daughter and her cousins and how happy they are I think it´s worth all of the preparations. Unfortunately I have no advice for you, just hang on there and do what you believe in. I hope you get support from your husband! xxx
